    Wow, further to my comment on the other thread, being able to reliably hear that a good 320kbps lossy is lossy is indeed pretty epic!

    I was talking about this with @ext1 and suddenly had the idea that ability to hear absolute polarity may be linked to ability to tolerate EQ. If one can't hear the phase fuckery introduced by EQ, then maybe one also can't hear absolute polarity (like me). But then I remembered @purr1n said the DEQ2496 was (fairly) transparent, but he can hear absolute polarity. So maybe that blows my theory.

    Just dunking this here cuz I was clearing stuff out and realised I'd forgotten to share here. It's audible on everything but stuff that seems to invert absolute polarity e.g. the MCTH and the Andromeda 2020 (I'm pretty sure the Andros invert, at least) makes this much easier. The mobile screenshot was with the IEMs, the "wow they're taking a photo of a PC screen do they even know screenshots exist" was on desktop rig.
